To be fair, the stadium is being expanded as we speak. 10,000 all seater next season. Mind you that wouldn't sell out even if Cobblers and Cov fans combined. Some swanky new conference facilities though if you need a business meeting in the Northampton area...

Guys, I follow the Cov story with interest but this has got me laughing my head off. Have I got this right?.. The supporters group want to make an agreement about paying the rent. The Club says they'll consider the idea. But it's going nowhere because they can't agree whether to speak by...

PREMIER LEAGUE! It's the PREMIER BLOODY LEAGUE! Not Premiership. Hasn't been the Premiership for years and years. [Sits down and draws breath]

This neutral wouldn't go. On principal. Like he would never go to Franchise FC either.

I would imagine in general terms Franchise FC are the most hated club in the division. They led where SISU followed.

I would respectively suggest you take zero supporters there. You have been temporarily (hopefully) franchised to another town. MK Dons are a more permanent franchise at the expense of a famous old club that worked their ways from non-league to FA Cup winners. If Cardoza hadn't accepted the...

Some good points but I still can't imagine any of our locals going to watch Coventry v Cardiff in the 1st round of the Worthless Cup. Not really a heart-stopper for the neutral is it? I can't even imagine too many going to watch the Cobblers! (If they have been drawn at home). Cov fans might...

Highly unlikely. If Cobblers were playing Cardiff in League Cup Round 1 I would expect only a couple of thousand locals would watch. So, a League 1 team v Championship team neither of whom are even Northampton?... I can't see any local interest at all. By way of information, Northampton...

Let's not forget, according to the 3-man FA appeals committee, the creation of AFC Wimbledon -after their team had been franchised away - said that "would not be in the wider interest of football". Clearly sorting out CCFCs crazy situation appears not to be in the eider interest of football too.

It's the PREMIER LEAGUE! Not been the Premiership for over 7 years.

Agreed. Quite ridiculous you'll be playing in my town again next season. But it seems far too late to avoid this now...fixtures are issued in a few weeks and there's zero sign of SISU changing their minds...they may have already piad Cardoza his next 150k? Can I ask...if you soon see for...

My concern is that SISU see the League 3 idea as a way to make the current temporary franchise permanent. They could make money being Arsenal's feeder club, based at Sixfields. Who could stop them applying to move CCFC to league 3 if they wanted? Such a franchise could badly damage my local...

Good luck to AFC in this. Unfortunately the creation of Franchise FC set a terrible precident. AFC Cov might be needed if SISU keep playing in Northampton...hell they could become a feeder club in League 3 if Dyke gets his way. My suggestion would be for SBT to create formal links with WISA...

Not quite! Your nationality could be English. But your citizenship is British. The UK passport is the only one in the world that had the word "citizen" next to the Nationality question. Because if the question were answered correctly people would be English, Scottish etc. There's no such...

Well yes I guess. Winkie represents everything that's gone wrong with football in this country. I live in Northampton (though I support another) and Cardoza has generally done his best for the club. He took the 40 pieces of silver from SISU and that was wrong. But even if he hadn't I'm...

Excellent Venn diagram that explains the differences between England, Great Britain and the United Kingdom ("Great" means "large" by the way it's not trying to be a boastful name meaning "fantastic"). The only prob with the Venn is that Ireland (the Republic of) don't call the overall islands...

Where to start with that nonsense? Think it's enough to say they played at Plough Lane. It was Millwall at Cold Blow Lane. Winkie franchised WFC to get council agreement to have Asda build him a stadium for free. It was all a property deal. Now could that happen again in another town......

That's true. So I don't understand why 7,000 went to watch Franchise FC who had done the same thing...even worse...to Wimbledon. Ironically, if Cardoza hadn't done the deal, Winkie would have had Cov playing down at Franchise in his stadium...

Yep. You're wrong. England is ON an island. That island is called Great Britain.
